Let me start off by saying that this is one of the prettiest games you can find for the iPhone! The visuals are absolutely amazing, with great attention to detail. Beautiful car models in full 3D, a great interface and nicely drawn cartoony style characters. If you want to show off your iPhone this would be a great app to download.

You are the new kid on the block and have to work your way up the ranks challenging multiple drag racing crews. You start off with a little cash to buy your first car. You can choose from lots of official brands like Ford, Nissan, Audi, Chevrolet and even exotics like Pagani, famous for the Zonda. Additional brands and content are being added through updates. With your new car, you race against tough opponents in many different challenges. Your goal of each the 5 tiers is to beat the entire crew and his leader. To do this, you need to buy upgrades for your car and tune it to perfection. Once the race starts the real game begins. Racing is very simple and consists of tapping the speeder to start, switching gears at the right time, and using your N2O at the right time to get a better time than your opponent. Its fun fast and well done.

Upgrades, cars and even fuel can be bought with in game or real money(gold). Some cars can cost more than 50 dollars worth of gold, a lot of money for just a single car. However the game can be completed without spending a dime, if you are a patient player, and can live without trying all the cars. I threw in maybe 10 dollars and had a great time with it.
